INTRODUCTION
Dogs! A Science Tail is an immersive 7,000 – 9,000-square-foot
traveling exhibition that explores the bond between humans and dogs—
one of the most successful interspecies partnerships of all time.
Divided into four sections and a demonstration space,
this exhibition reveals where dogs came from, how
dogs experience the world, what makes our bond
with dogs so special, and how to care for our canine
best friends. Immersive experiences invite guests to
see, hear, smell, and think like a dog! With support
from the California Science Center’s contacts and
programming handbook, host museums can schedule
demonstrations by trained professionals and their
amazing canines. Guests will have opportunities to
see real dogs, pretend to be dogs, and share their
favorite dog photos and videos.
